I been hearin' your concern about my happiness   But all that thought you've given me, is conscience I guess   If I were walkin' in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none   While you and your friends are worryin' 'bout me,    I'm havin' lots of fun      Chorus:   Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all   Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one   Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo   Now don't tell me    I've nothin' to do   Don't tell me    I've nothin' to do      Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town   As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down   So, please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doin' fine   You can always find me here and havin' quite a time      Chorus:   Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all   Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one   Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo   Now don't tell me    I've nothin' to do   Don't tell me    I've nothin' to do      --- Instrumental ---      It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright   Anyway, my eyes are not accustomed to this light   And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete   So, I must go back to my room and make my day complete      Chorus:   Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all   Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one   Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo   Now don't tell me    I've nothin' to do   Don't tell me   I've nothin' to do   Don't tell me   I've nothin' to do...
